Typically, orange sodalite is identified by a strong orange fluorescence and a deep blue color. There are times when the stone will showcase a violet tint. The opaque deposits have patches or white veins that run across them and contain calcite. Transparent crystals are quite rare. Sodalite can occur in violet, blue, yellow, gray, colorless, or orange. Also known as Sunset sodalite is a combination of Sunstone (Orange Feldspar) and traditional sodalite. The mineral is fairly new and also known as Orange Sodalite. Orange Feldspar crosses the surface of the sodalite, making it appear beautiful with orange spider web patterns. Sunset sodalite is popular for confidence, strength, and clarity.
